So, How do you think my ECs and stats look? Am I ready to apply this year? I Am also retaking the MCAT in June this year... Is that too late? What else can I do that I am lacking on my app? The only thing I have going now is the Research Laboratory and my two Jobs that aren't science related. This is while I study for my MCAT.

J to the J

I think you've got a great application and have a good shot at many, many schools including some in California. I would not retake the MCAT in your situation, but that's obviously your decision. Just be sure you are consistently scoring in the mid-30's on practice tests; you absolutely do not want to go down.

No need to retake that Mcat unless you have your heart set on top tier schools but if you just want to be a doctor and don't care where you go so much....

Buy yourself an MSAR and run your finger across the pages. You will find a few schools that will like your stats and would like to meet you. Apply to a good 15 solid schools, with at least 2 DO schools in there and you will most likely be in med school before you know it.
You have average stats and stats like those scream safe to schools and they like safe. So buy that MSAR, do a little research and you will find the schools that will give you a good run for your money.

Everybody wants to be a doctor, but ain't nobody wanna go to med school...

I will retake the MCAT and study harder this time. I barely studied the first time I took it and I was already a year out of school.. so I'm hoping for a better score.

Do you guys think I should concentrate on getting more medically related positions/experiences or should I stick with my 2 non-medicine related positions? I live on my own and have loans to pay... so no work is definitely not an option.. haha

Of course, I'd prefer to stay in CA... but really, I'm more than willing to sacrifice a few years of my life out of the state in order to become a doctor.
